The new, quick reference for understanding Posttraumatic Stress
Disorder
The Wiley Concise Guides to Mental Health: Posttraumatic
Stress Disorder uses clear, highly accessible language to
comprehensively guide the reader through posttraumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) and related issues. This concise, informative
reference provides a complete overview of the history of the field,
diagnosis, treatment, research, emerging trends, and other critical
information about PTSD. Examining both theory and practice, the
text offers a multifaceted look at the disorder, outlining
biological, cognitive, psychosocial, psychodynamic, integrated, and
other relevant approaches.
Like all the books in the Wiley Concise Guides to Mental
Health Series, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder features a
compact, easy-to-use format that includes:
* Vignettes and case illustrations
* A practical approach that emphasizes real-life treatment over
theory
* Resources for specific readers such as clinicians, students, or
patients
In addition to the fundamentals of treatment, Posttraumatic
Stress Disorder covers some of today’s most important and
cutting-edge issues in the field, such as war and terrorism; PTSD
in children, adolescents, and families; professional and ethical
issues; and relevant positive psychological findings. This
straightforward resource is admirably suited for a wide variety of
readers including students and practicing mental health
professionals, as well as first responders, military personnel, and
other individuals that regularly deal with traumatic situations and
their aftermath.
